If it is a very old TV, more than likely it contains vacuum tubes that have gone bad. Vacuum tubes work by deflecting electrons inside a glass tube. This requires the tubes to be heated, with a small internal heater. The tubes have to warm up for them to work. This process should only take a minute or two. If it is taking hours the heaters are bad, or they arn't getting enough power to warm the tubes properly.
Short circuit the anode of the picture tube and the anode cap to the metal chassis, CRT shield or carbon painted on the CRT after removing the anode.
Console TV's were big boxes that held the large picture tube and the smaller tubes and wires behind it that made it work. As tubes were replaced by transistors and then circuit boards they needed less space, so the TVs were made smaller. Short answer--because they're not needed any more.
Have you tried adjusting the settings on your tv like the contrast/tint/etc.? It might be a bad picture tube in which case you may need to get a new tv but without more details it's hard to know for sure what's going on.
